I'm not sure about Kobe, but I'm sure he will be better than Iguodala. Higher upside plus better mindset and willingness to become better everyday. 15ppg for Derozan this year I would call success. Depends on how the team is run though.

they do, lebron and wade and other stars are always down in toronto in the summer for the cabana or w/e and he was here last year at the film festival alot of players love it and i heard the players who play hear have nothing but nice things to say about it.

it's just they get extra taxes and they have to upgrade their passport and have trouble getting through customs. this is honeslty what i heard when they interviewed mike james on hardcore hoops show.

Catching Up With DeMar DeRozan

Audio only interview just under 6 minutes. Questions are hard to understand, at least for me, but DeMar came was loud and clear. Nothing much new here, but if you are a DeRozan fan then you should enjoy.

Catching Up With DeMar DeRozan
July 30, 2010

This afternoon I went to the Raptors Basketball Academy and DeMar DeRozan talked with the media about his experience coaching kids, his play in Vegas Summer League and being the face of the franchise this season.

what is this? earlier interview "andrea how does it feel being th face of the franchise next season?"

this interview "DeMar, What does it feel like to be the face of the franchise starting next season?"

what's next "Jarrett,How Does it feel knowing your going to be the face of this frnachise next year?"

pretty soon it'll be "Sonny and Amir, How Does it Feel that You Guys Are going to be the faces of the franchise next season?"

Yeah i think demar is the most deserving of "The face of the franchise" He is playing extremely well in summer league.
Bargnani is going to be great this season but demar is going to have a amazing season. If he can lead the raptors and if they can stay with the "Run & Gun" mentality they will win games. They have an identity now, and that was lacking for the past two years.

Maybe so, but I hate labels especially for young kids coming up in this league. DeMar is far from being the "face of this franchise" and having that title will on create more pressure on himself. Something I'm not sure he's up for just yet.

Right now whether I like it not because I've always been one of his biggest critics, but this is Bargnani's team. Time for him to step it up and take his game to the next level and prove to non-believer's such as myself why we took him first overall.

I'm pretty certain that the marketing machine isn't going to be pushing any one guy (unless somebody has a break out year) but instead, we're going to have the "Young Gunz" pushed on us as the reason to come down and catch a game. They're marketable..more exciting as a group than any one player is and to be honest, there isn't a guy on the roster who is both a top player and great interview. I see this group being our "Star Player" and marketing focus in 09, barring a big trade before or during the season.

au contraire my friend. It seems to me that as one of the Raptors players has already said that "it is the fans team" Ubuntu rules

Ubuntu is an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other

Or as the Three Musketeers said (Actually there were four at one time) said "All for one and one for all" and as been stated "all for the fans". It is the fans team.

Who is the face of the team if it is the fans team? Why this fellow of course.
